Dan Keeling talks to Polly Russell

Matters of Taste: Who’s Afraid of Romanée-Conti?, and Wine Tasting.

Hay Festival 2025, 

Take the guesswork out of great wine with Noble Rot’s Dan Keeling in this exciting tasting event. Learn from the expert as he takes us on a tour of new vineyards and the groundbreaking wine-makers of today including Chin Chin, Trenzado - Suertes del Marqués and Savigny-lès-Beaune - Simon Bize, all of which you will get to drink.

Wine can be daunting without an incisive guide, but Keeling is here to share lessons from his book Who’s Afraid of Romanée-Conti? Update your wine knowledge, get new ideas about what to drink and learn all about the stories that are corked into every bottle, from the country’s most exciting wine writer and merchant.

Keeling is editor and co-founder of Noble Rot magazine, and co-owner of their three eponymous London restaurants, which have won Wine List of the Year at the World Restaurant Awards and the National Restaurant Awards an unprecedented five times. He talks to food historian and curator at the British Library, Polly Russell.
